Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the money invested in 7% bonds
y = the money invested in 9% bonds
Nancy inherited 600,000 and invested it in bods which pay 7% and 9% simple interest:
x + y = 600,000
The annual interest from the two investments is 49,200:
0.07x + 0.09y = 49,200
By solving the system of equations:
x + y = 600,000
0.07x + 0.09y = 49,200
